South Pittsburf- 'Vater ComiDany, first knovm as the St. Clair Water Company, was organized In 1894 and was the outgrov/th of a dlssatisfaotion that arose in the territory bordering on South Side, Pittsburg, with the rates of the Konongahela Water Company, which supplied all the territory near the City of Pittsburg, South of the Monongahela I^lver.

Mr. Jacob Schlneller was employed as Engineer, and developed plans which consisted of taking water from a submerged crib or filter gallery, located in the bed of the Monongahela I^lver, just above the inflov/ of Becks Run, and at this point a pumping station v/as constructed, wherein were installed two vertical 3,000,000 gallon pumping engiiies built by Benry R. Worthington, one a compound condensing low duty and the other a compound condensing high duty. A sufficient battery of Heine boilers to provide steam for these engines was installed; two receiving tanks, 50 x 66, were erected on the summit of Kt. Oliver, and a 20" steel main laid from pumping station to these tanks.

From this the pipe system, the backbone of which is shown on map, page 1, seemed to have been especially laid out with view to x)reemptlng as much territory as possible.

The pool level in the r.onongahela Hlver at Becks Pun is approximately 706' above sea level. The summit of wit. Oliver,

3.

whereat the tanks are located. Is at an elevation of 1220\ which with tho 50' additional in the receiving- tanks, combined with the friction in the 20" main when pumpinp- 7,000,000, (which was ap- proximately the consumption at the time the writer became interest- ed) provoked a total lift equivalent to 280# per square inch.

It will be noted from the map, pap-e 1, that the, terri- tory supplied, which may be described as reaching from the Eastern extremity of West Homestead and Mifflin Township on the East, to beyond the Ghartiers Yalley on the ''est, and from the Southern line of the City of Pittsburg and the I'onongahela River, on the Sorth, to a line drawn below Bridgeville and "Bruce 's Station on the South, including within its limits over twenty- five Boroughs and Townships of the first and second class, embracing an area of over eighty square miles, containing a population, three years ago, of approximately 110,000 or about 1,400 per square mile, which population, hov/over, is over 80> located within the Boroughs v/hich have been shown on the map by the streets of which they are con- stituted.

B'rom the contours on map, page 1, it will be noted that the region is semi-mountainous, being the blending out of the foot hills of the Alleghenies, elevations varying many times within a few hundred feet to from 800 to over 1200.

Contending, as this Company was, for control of a

4.

territory ao-ainst an older and financially stronp-er Company, under the strain of rate cutting and inveatnents In lonp; lines of pipe through lean territory, they soon confronted trouble; in fact, both Companies 7;ere losinf^ money and finally wakened to their senses and by a compact divided the territory, by v/hich division the T'onono:ahela 'Vater Company was con^'ined to the territory within the City of Pittsburg, South of the Mononpahela Plver, the Boroughs of Ssplen, IlcKees blocks and otowe Township. This compact is still respected although the City of Pittsburg has since annexed considerable territory supplied by the St* Clair, now the South Pittsburg "ater Company.

The policy of the Company, and the rough handling It received, had so lowered its finances by increasing its debt and consequent interest charges, and dissensions arising in the ranks, the plant gradually ran down till in the ^'ears 1903-4, the territory supplied by the St. Clair Water Company was without water service an average of two days per week.

The stockholders, however, being mainly residents of the territory, some of them influential politicians, the tide of opposition was for a time stemmed, but their conditions constantly grew worse until in the Spring of 1904 a Receiver seemed inevitable.

To avoid this, the principal owners cast about for a purchaser, 77hich was found In the writer's employer, the American

5

V^ater 'Vorks 5. Guarantee Company, of which he was at that time Chief Engineer, and on him first devolved the duty of rehabilitat- ing and keepin^sr in operation the old plant, which, however, is not the subject of this thesis, so suffice to say that from the hour we took charge, no part of the territory was subsequently out of water, but these results were not accomplished without many sleep- less nights and a vast expendi-^;ure of money for repairs and emergency devices.

During this time, however, we had besides the operation and construction work incident to forty other water works plants, the added burden of preliminary investigations leading up to and the crystallizing of the plans necessary to make of a broken down water works, a first class, up-to-date plant.

The original crib in the Monongahela River having been designed for throe million gallons and the consumption being more than double that amount, we found the crib abandoned and the pumps taking raw water from the edp*e and bottom of the river, bringing in v/ith it cinders from the slag piles of the furnaces above, and floating twigs and chips from the boat yard adjacent.

Their nains having extended into territory of a greater elevation than Vt, Oliver, they had, to deliver v/ater to such points, erected numiOrous other tanks which were supplied by high service or booster pumping stations. Of these, there were, when

we took charfre, three in' number, with a demand for more than double that amount.

An 18" force main had been extended from the Mt . Oliver tanks throup-h Beltzhoover, across two vallej/s and over as many hills, to the Ohartiers Valley, where at an elevation of about 950' they built a two million g-allon reservoir, and from this the lines v;ere extended up and down the Ohartiers Talley, through the Boroug-hs of Sheridan, Ohartiers, Ing-ram, Grafton, Idlewood, Garne;C^ie, Heidleberg, Woodville and Bridgeville, and the consump- tion in th-^'s vr.lley had so increased that the slifrht difference between the water in the I-It. Oliver tanks and the tops of the hills over which this supply must pass, was insufficient to produce enough head to force the water demanded by the consumption into this reservoir, even vjhen the tanks were full.

The consequence of this condition was that most of the large consumers, mainly coal mines, had been forced to provide other supplies or shut dov/n, which latter was the case in riany instances, there being nothing but surface water or m:ine drainage available, all of which was too acid for boiler use.

This provoking condition was intensified by the fact that the entire territory was originally underlaid v/ith a vein of coal, lb% of which had been mined out, creatinr* a drainage f^OO' below that destroyed any possibility of underground supply, hence when the Iv't. Oliver tanks were v/ithout water, there was a pitiable

7

condition, not only sanitary, hut the leek of water for doneBtlo purposes had caused rauoh suffering, and as before desorihed, the quality was about as poor, when any was to he had, as could he, for the >'.onone;ahela at hiph water carries an excessive turbidity, and when low the acid, frequently amounts to about seventeen grains of free acid per gallon, and with no means of clarifying or treat- ing- to reduce the acid, there v;aE much of the j ear that the water supplied was unfit for domestic or laundry uses, and had to be neutralized before It could be introduced into steam boilers.

It was in this condition when our investigations began and our control took place.

But tvw sources of supply seemed available: -

First - The T'onongahcla River, v/hich to be potable, must be filtered and at tim.es treated to reduce acidity.

Second- A ground v^ater supply, to be drav/n from, the old mo rain of the Ohio Hiver in the vicinity of Brunots or Davis Island.

After a studj/ of three months, we recommended both to our ^Ixecutlve Officers, hut that the Monongahela supplv be first developed and so installed that the entire territory could he supplied without the assistance of high service or booster pumping engines.

To do this required increasing the total head worked against bv 100', and the plan, briefly outlined, v;as as follows:- To abandon entirely the filter gallery or crib at Becks

Run, which had lonr since become practically useless by the silt In over of the river, due to the pool, and to erect as far out as the Government would permit, an intake pier by which the height at which the water was taken could be governed.

To erect at a site christened Hays Station, over 300* above the level at Becks Hun, sedimentation basins, filter plant and pumping station;

To connect this station v/ith Becks V.un and again with the Mt. Oliver tanks, which would be abandoned and in their place erected a 25 x 150' standpipe.

This, we calculated, would for years to cone, provide sufficient head to supply the entire district and vvith water of a quality that would be acceptable.

For estimate on this work see page 1 of appendices.

The building of the second plant or the ground water supply from the Ohio "River, we advocated being undertaken 7/hen the head provided by the 150* standpipe was Insufficient to force through the 18" main, from Ti'r. Oliver to Grafton reservoir, the amount demanded by the confaumotion in the Valley, find then to proceed to erect either on Davis or Brunots Island, or along shore in between, (estimates beinp made three ways) a plant which would take water from the coarse p-ravel belov/ to the extent of 5,000,000 daily, and force it through a main to be laid up the

Chart lers Valley and tied in with the mains in Sheridan and Ing:ram, utilizing- the (Grafton reservoir as a storage.

The alon^ shore plan having been found impraotical on account of inability to secure option on real estate, we were finally driven to one or the other of the islands rientioned, and it was deemed wisest, on account of the inability to procure fuel and the annual flooding of both islands, to plan to erect on Brunots Island only a low service pump station, as per page A of Drawings, 7;hich was to be operated by electricity generated at the high service pumping station on the shore, built at some convenient point along a railroad v/here fuel could be had for both the gener- ating of power for low service station anr" the operating of high service station.

"Sstimates on cost water supply and lov/ service station will be found on page 3 of the aoToendices.

This was all that was accomplished in the way of this underground water supply and to date it has not been necessary to carry out this plan, nor are the indications such that it v/ill be necessary within the next five years to core, and what our successors may conclude, time only will tell.

To the Becks Hun Pumping Station, prior to our taking charge, had been added in t/ie way of pumping machinery, a vertical 5,000,000 crank and fly wheel Allis machine and a vertical triple e.-xpansion Heisler. (3ee layout drawing page B)

These with the two 'Vorthin^c^ton ' R hefore deeorihed had been expected to keep up the supply, and while their capaoity was sufficient, their strength, under the management and oara they received, was totally inadequate, and the constant breaking: of water end castings and the failure of force mains was the prime cause of the interruptions to the sur)ply.

A careful examination of this machinery led to the conclusion that a division of the head was necessary in order to make the existing pumping machinery safely available, and it was this feature that permitted the going up Becks Pun IP. ,000' in order to obtain sufficient available ground of a contour that would permit of building the proposed filter and pumping station and at an elevation that would practically divide the total head and relieve the strain on the Becks Pun machinery.

This also permitted the substitution of a five million gallon water end on the 'nigh duty 'Vorthington for the three million that before existed, and we further added two additional cylinders to the low duty compound Worthington, making of it a direct acting triple, then by removing a portion of the counterweight on the Allis, it was adapted to the lesser head. See page 4 for bids on this work.

The plan of the intake (See page C of drawings, also specifications and bids, pages 5 and 9 of appendices) provided, as per our original recommendations, tbat the ^/ater could be taken

11.

practically at any heip-ht, and it was also necessary that the structure be Btronp^ enou^^h to resist a 34' stag-e with ice, and the Government further Imposed the condition that its stability "be such as to permit coal barp^es to be tied to or back up af^ainst it. ?or subf oundat ions test holes revealed no substantial bottom. Consequently, pilinp- were driven as per plan, pa^e D, and a 50" main was laid from this to wot well within the purapinsr station.

Becks Run pumpinr station was rebuilt as shov/n by plan on pa^f^e E, also specifications and bids, pa^^^es 10 and 17 of appendices.

ICstiraates for three different filter sites at different elevations were made, which pointed to the Hays site as the most practical. A contour nap of this was prepared, condemnation proceeding:s filed at once on the f^round and the work begun.

The ori£'inal contours and <^eneral plan are shown by pa^re F, from wliich the unacquainted will exclaim at first glance that this was not a very opportune site, but of the three sites that could be located, the contour o-^ this permitted the lowest cdst of filter construction, which -.'/ith the benefits from the division of the head, offset the long pipe lines to reach it.

It will be noted that we were confined on an East and West direction by two streets. It further became necessary to

change an East and West street, hewing out a new location for it from the solid rock between main structures, the coagulant house

and wash tank.

It was decided by the Dlreotorts that the designs of the filter plant and pumping: stations should "be such as to acoQrnmodate an ultimate 20,000,000 capacity, but that where practical, the immediate construction should stop at 10,000,000.

The 24" force raain cominp; from Becks Eun was therefore increased to 30", as was the discharge main upon our own property or station site, on account of the narrowness of the road and otherwise cramped condition.

The first work on this plant was the construction of the sewer, as shown through the center of plan, page F, the necessity of which was to care for the maximum storm drainage from about seven hundred acres above, and was further so constructed as to be utilized for draining sedimentation basins and carrying away filter wash, air pump discharge, and finally, taking care of the ashes of the boiler room. See specifications covering same, page 18 of the appendices.

The sedimentation capacity was fixed at a maximum of 3,000,000 gross, to provide for water remaining there three hours at times of 20,000,000 consumption.

The sedimentation facilities or basins are shown in plan and longitudinal section on page G.

The plan was such that they could be ordinarily operated in series, the water being brought in at the upper end, through

13.

twelve vertical pipes or fountains, v7hioh provided sorae aeration, and a 3' drop of the water was arrested by a wooden raft, from which it trickled into the upper end o^ the settling: basin, the coagulant having" been introduced as it passed the coag*ulant house.

But one pass was provided and horizontal currents or stratifications are prevented by a sinprle vertical baffle extend- ing; down 10', the water then wiers over the center wall, then under another baffle, and is finally taken out through six down spouts attached to 36" main leading to the filters.

On the center wall dividing the t7/o basins, it will be noted, ability is provided to introduce t?.e water to the lower basin or to take the v/ater out of the upper basin, so to clean the upper Das in the water is dropped one foot, introduced at the upper end of the lower basin and taken out at its lower end.

To clean the lower basin the plan is similar.

The plan of the bottoms of ciieso basins, the grades, sluice ways, sumps, etc., are such that four to six feet of sedi- ment can be removed vvithin an hour after the water is drained off, and facilities for pumping- out and to the filters, down to within 5' of the bottom, have been provided to prevent wasting contents at time of cleaning.

The arrangement of the bottom to facilitate cleaning is further better shown on three cross sections, page F,

From the sedimentation basins the water is conveyed

through a 36" cast iron conduit to filters, which consist of fourteen reinforced concrete tuhs , of 1,000,000 capacity each (375 sq.ft.) which are s?.own in plan and cross section on page T, in general plan on paf^e J, and in further cross section on page K, and in pipe and control detail on page L, and the superstructure of which is shown in elevation on page M,

Beneath the filters is constructed a vaiilted clear water hasin having capacity of some 400,000 gallons. This is shown in cross section on page I, and in longitudinal cross section on page K.

From the clear wrster has in the water passes through two 30" pipes into a sump under a portion of the engine room. The flow is controlled hy two float valves and further protected o}i gates. This sump is shown in cross section drawing, page II, and appears in plan on page 0.

The ahove plan and cross section also show in detail the pumping engine and boiler installation.

The pumping engine installation consists of three 5,000,000 horizontsil triple expansion condensing en;p-ines, with room provided for the installation of two more, so that in the ultimate capacity of 20,000,000 there will he one spare.

The boiler installation consists of three 300 H.P. water tube boilers with xsuperheaters .

Bids and specifications for these pumping engines are

shown on pa^es 21 and 26 of appendices .

It will "be noted that a feed punp and heater has been provided for eraergencies , and in the spaoe provided under floor in front of the boilers, a shop has been built.

The ash disposal is aocomplished by lifting- a plate in the floor and raking the ashes into a chute, turning- stream of unfiltered water on each end of same, ehioh washes them into sewer from which they are eroded when the filters are washed, and deposit- ed on the flats of the stream below.

Plan on na??e 0 also shows coal house, which is shown in detail on pag:e P.

All concrete 7/ork, basins, filters, clear water receptacle, foundations, substructures, etc., were built by days' labor by a construction force orpanized for that purpose.

The stone for concrete was quarried from the hill on the. Southeast side of the Gompany's property, from whence it was carried by hand down hill to crusher and from thence elevated to bins, from which it was dropped into hrnd cars standinp- on stub tracks near mixers, which again dumped into cars on tracks with a down parade to highest point of concrete work. The sand and cenent bein^'^ hauled up and stored at elevations above the mixers, all went by gravity.

The superstructures were built by contract. The erection of all m.achinery, except boilers, was done by days' labor.

16

as was the installation of all pipe v/ork.

\7e were given .vord to proveed with this v/ork on Kay lst» 1905, when the plans and simultaneously the construction was begun; all concrete work was complete by I^overaher 1st, the main super- structures by January 15th, and the plant was put in permanent operation July 14th, 1906.

On the hill adjacent, and v/ell above the settling basins, was erected a coagulant storage and dissolving house, and filter wash tank. This coagulant house is f^hown in plan, elevation and cross section on page For specifications and bids see pages

27, 35, 34 and 37 of the appendices.

From the pumpinp- station the water leaves first through a 30" steel main, (for specifications see page 44 of appendices) which extends sufficiently up the hill to cut the friction down to approximately 120#, and from there through a cast imn main to the standpipe, which is shovm in plan, elevation and detail on page r?, and for specifications and bids see pages 38 and 43 of the appendices .

The detail cost of the plant promised in outline sub- mitted the owners have thought best not to permit published but consent to m.y saying that it was in total within five per cent of the estimate.

We have prepared photographs of the exterior and interior of the ''ays Station pumping and filter plant, which may be indexed

The better performance of a lower type of engines at Hays Station over the higher class at Bocks Pun we attribute to the more compact design of the station, shorter steam pipe, consequent less radiation and steam loss, ?.nd further the provision of superheated steam at this station, where none is available at Becks Pun, and the performance at this Hays Station we have found to be an example for any station of its capacity in the Country.

In addition to the p-eneral plan, the features of this

plant ori2"lnal to the designer are the settling 1)^18 ins, i.e.

the method of introducin.pr and taklnp* out the water and the plan of

the oottoras to facilitate oloaninp".

The filter strainers, not shov/n in detail, are of our own design. In the gravity oonorete work a new type of expansion .joint was tried and proved successful. The method of handling coal and ashes is tlso orif^:inal. But in p-eneral, the credit we claim is collecting froir. every source available the best and most modern ideas and so assembling them as to create a plant that for its first cost has produced an efficiency and nay be and is operated at an Gconomj^ that challenges; it has now been in operation over two and a half .years and neither its designer nor owner has, to this date, found cause to be other than proud of it. / yi / /O/" ^ — <

SPECIFICATIONS FOH MSOIJRY INTAKE PIER AED CAST IRON INTAKE FOR SOUTH PITTS BUHO WATER COMPANY

It is the intent of the followinp: Bpeci fixations to describe the furnishing of all material (with exceptions noted) and performing" all labor of building an intake pier according to plane accompanying these specifications.

A permit will have been obtained from the Secretary of War and arrangement for the occupation of the space in the river nec- essary to do the v;ork has been made with the i'onongahela River Coal & Coke Company, and a right of way will be obtained from the ?.& L.E. Railroad, but notwithstanding the above, the work must be done under the supervision of the U.S. Government Engineer for this district, and plans for false work, cofferdam, etc. must be sutinitted to him for approval prior to beginning the work.

Consideration must also be had for the fact that the Coal Company occupy the river adjacent as a boat yard, and prior to beginning the tunnel under the P.& L.E. tracks, arrangement must be made with said Railroad that will insure the safety of traffic over the above work.

MATERIAL

The South Pittsburg ■7ater Company will furnish at the Becks Run Pumping Station the four cast iron ''nlets with screens, all gate valves, the 30" cast iron pipe, the extension stems for the gate valves, and the stands and wheel handles to be placed at the top, (but not the strap iron brackets that must be attached to the wall for the guiding of the exten^;ion valve stems); also all cross srjreens and blanks making up the cross partition shown on plans 10 feet from one end of the inner space, and it must be distinctly understood that all material other than mentioned above must be furnished by the contractor.

SUB-gOUIIDATION

Borings made b^; the V/ater Company would indicate a gravelly clay strata at the depth shown, but if when the excavation has been completed to this depth, the sub-foundation available is in the opinion of the engineers of the Water Company not firm enough.

the contractor may "be required to excavate 5 feet additional depth, or if test borinfrs reveal that an insufficient foundation will he available at the extra 5 foot depth, then the contractor will he required to drive piling over the entire area as per the clause in these specifications headed "Piling"", the contractor heinp' expected to name the additional amounts for the extra 5 feet and also for driving* the piling*.

SUB-STP.UGTURU

The sub-structure, except where otherwise indicated by plans, will be built of concrete, e.nd all other material, appli- ances, and parts shown, must be furnished except as noted above, and put in place by the contractor.

Care must be taken to form the g-rooves intended for the reception of the cross screens in a perpendicular position. They must be even, and the measurements from depth to depth of groove on each side must not vary more than l/4" throug-hout the entire structure .

The ladders shown on the outside must begin at Davis Island Dara pool level, and continue to the top of the sub-structure The ladder on the inside must extend from bottom to top of the sub- structure .

The rings shown must be placed on each side of the sub- structure .

OOHOHETB

All concrete is to be mixed on the ground under the super vision of an inspector provided b;/ the "'ater Company, and will be composed of one part Portland cement of an approved brand, two parts of clean, sharp river sand, and four parts of broken stone or clean, well washed river gravel, all of which shall pass through a 2" ring.

It must be placed in layers and tamped to the satisfac- tion of the inspector furnished by the Water Company. The forms up to within one foot of No. 1 Pool Level may be rough, and no particular pains need be taken to secure a uniform surface so long as the cross section, as shown by the plans, is in no way cramped, but from one foot belov/ Uo. 1 Pool Level to the top of the sub- structure the forms must be of dressed lumber, with dressed surface on the inside, and care must be taken to secure a uniform, present- able surface, which must have the cement mortar flushed to the edge and any irregularities revealed on removal of form must be corrected by troweling. Care must be taken to place all other

parts and appurtenances in their proper position as the work of placing the concrete progresses, and the suhstructure must he finished and permitted to set before the superstructure is begun.

50" IHTAKB

The pipe and valve for this, as above stated, will be furnished by the Water Company, but must be placed by the contractor. The valve must be a double flanged gate valve, 12 feet in length; the remainder will be ordinary bell and spigot 30" ordinary weight cast iron pipe. The contractor will furnish the necessary yarn and lead and all tools necessary to the laying of this pipe. In laying this pipe all joints must be shoved home, must be evenly divided, and must be firmly yarned to a depth that will leave 2" of lead space. The lead for pouring the joints must be hot enough to scorch a pine stick before it is used for pouring, and all Joints must be made at a single pouring. Sufficient room around the joints must be provided for the caulkers to work with ease that a first class job in every respect may be obtained, but in the conduct of this work care must be taken so as not to interfere with the present water supply nor endanger traffic on the P, & I.E. Railroad.

Entrance to the existing manhole m.ay be made on a Sunday when the water supply to South Pittsburg can be kept up from other sources for a period of 8 hours, but after the pipe is entered, the opening made for same must be bricked or concreted in, in a first class manner, and in a way that will not impair the strength of this structure.

Should it be necessary to drive piling as a sub-foundation for this structure, the same must be provided on the ground of a length that v/ill drive not less than 20 feet. They must be cut from live oak wood, they must not be less than 8" at the smallest end, and they must be reasonably straight and free from projecting knots or other deformities that would prevent their being driven close enough together to afford a suitable sub-foundation for the proposed structure. They must be driven in such a manner that they will not be shattered or broomed at the elevation at which they should be cut off to form the sub-foundation.

SUPERS THUG TIIRE

The superstructure must be built as per plans. The brick must be of a good building quality laid in cement mortar.

They must be laid in line and the joints struck both inside and out. The sills roust be of stone or built of ooncrete to the satisfaction of the enp-ineer of the '"ater Company. All wood work entering in the construotion and exposed to the weather must be of white pine. All interior exposed wood work must be

of yellow pine and surfaced, and contractor must realize that it is intended that this superstructure shall not only protect the valves, but as an ornament, lend to the appearance of the entire structure, and a neat, first class job will be expected, that is, the brick must be of an even color, they must be laid by first class building masons, and in fact, competent building tradesmen must be employed for each different feature of the work on the superstructure.

Floor Joists to be x 10 spaced 16" center to center. Flooring to be l-l/s" tongue and grooved S. 1. S. yellow pine not over 3" wide. P.afters to be 2 x 6 yellow pine spaced E4" ' center to center.

The above contract let to Dravo Doyle at ^^10,000.00, conditioned on their excavatinp; without cofferdam, driving piles not less than 20 feet long, sawing same off and capping with grillage, and beginning masonry at point shown by the plan. This was alternate proposition submitted by them.

The contract was originally awarded to Jutte & Foley, who refused to furnish a bond, and it was thought best to require one on account of our responsibility in connection with the tunnelling under the railroad, the working adjacent the Coal Company's boat yard, and our additional responsibility to the Grovernraent .

The drawings and these specl f icati ons are intended to emhra'^e all labor and materials required for the completion of the alterations to the building, and will be taken as oo-ooerat ing •;7ith and explaining each other, and anythinp" shown on drawings and not mentioned in the speoi -^ioat ions , or vice versa, will be in- cluded t>ie same as if specified and shown, hnd in addition, anything which may be clearly im.plied as necessary for the work and the proper completion of the building will be furnished by the con- tractor whether directly m.entioned or not. On the drawings, figures iiill in every case take precedence over scale dimensions, and large scale drawings over small. All m.aterials to be t?:e best of their several kinds and all workmanship to be of the highest grade. In general, materials, unless otherv/ise shown, specified, or directed, will be selected to carefully match the similar materials of the present bu-ilclin?".

All m.aterial and workm.anship will he subject to the approval o:^ the engineer of the "^ater Company or his authorized agent, and his decision shall be ^inal and binding in all cases.

The Water Company reserves the right to make any altera- tions or changes in the plans and specifications without affectinp* the validity of the contract, and should such changes involve a difference in cost, the amount thereof shall be either added or deducted from the contract price as the case may be, and no extra work involving additional cost shall be started by the contractor without first having received a -written order for the same from the ?]ngineer of the ^ater CoTTipany. Uo bills for extra work will be ac-^epted without an order as above mentioned.

The contractor will provide all materials, labor, scaf- folding, centering, tools, etc., and everything required for the full completion of hit:^ work according to these plans and specifica- tions either embraced or im.plied, anc^i after completion shall remove debris :-:nd waste m.aterial and leave bu-ildinp and grounds in as good condition as he found them.

The contractor will be held to bear the expense of all dainage to the old portion of tl e 1 uilrling, f:nd machinery, resulting from, the v/ork of the alterations, and all damage fromi same cause

to the new portion.

The contractors are required to exarine site and present buildinp: as no allowance v/ill be made for lack of ]-no";l edp*e of the preni ses .

The contractor must realize when Tiaklnp- his bid t?iat this work must be done without detriment or interference with the con- tinuous operation of the oumpinp- rnschinerjr in this station; that the 7;ater supply kept up by this station is paramount to everything: concerned with the alterations to or the construction work in connection v^^ith this station.

In order to accomplish the above, the contractor must provide suitable protection for the m^achinery in the way of tar- paulins or equivalent, w^hich must be Sioread over the entire area unroofed or e:xposed to the weather, and must be of such nature, construction or installation that it .vill not only protect the m.aohinery and employes from the weather, dust and debris, but in addition must be of a nature that will confine the hieat to the extent of keeping the station comfortable for the emiployes In charge of the operation, and a suggestion of the Engineer Is that the above described protection be first erected over that portion of the buildinr to be raised, and as soon as the sheathing is completed over this portion, and the slaters begin work, that the protection be removed to the highest portion of the building, which is simply to be re-roofed, and a's soon as the sheathing is completed over that portion, the protection can then be removed to the boiler room, and In this m.anner the brick work, sheathing and slating can proceed in a continuous and uninterrupted manner. The contractor is at liberty, hcvever, to work out an;;; other plan that he may think better, and which shall meet with the approval of the engineer in charge of the ^vork.

Hill Construct ion Company, '^7,499.19 Pittsburg Construction Company, IS,. 500. 00 William I-'iller Sons Company, ' 14,567.00

This contract ?/as lolaced with the Hill Construction Co.

Ifl.

SPECIFICATIONS FO?. STOHI'.T SEWE"R TfROUCrH TFR PROPERTY OF THE SOUTH PITTSBima WATE^ COI^ANY

This sewer Is to be constructed to care for the storm water which falls on the valley above this property, and in as much as it will be at times subjected to a torrent, the construction must be of such quality that it will withstand the action of the water under such conditions, and also carry the maxiraum for the cross section proposed.

TlfilB

In as much as the be^^innini^ of ey tensive structures over this sewer avmits the completion of sam.e , time is an important element in this contract, and the Water Company is willing; to pay for expeditious work. Contractors will therefore state the least possible time in which they will guarantee to complete the work, and if at extra cost the time can be shortened, different bids based on these conditions will be considered.

MATERIALS OF EXCAVATION

The profile accompanying fhese specifications shows what the Water Company believes to be the stratification to be encounter- ed in the construction of this sewer, and feels quite confident that no material variation from this stratification will be encountered.

In as much as the sewer is to be constructed principally j in the limestone, and over the top and resting- on this sewer is later to be erected heavy structures, contractor will be expected to excavate or shatter as little of the limestone, in addition to the cross section shown on the plan accompanying these specifica- tions, as it is possible to do, and will be required to remove all m.aterial shattered or rendered unfit for sub-foundation for heavy , structures, and to fill all excavation made with concrete or brick masonry to the satisfaction of the representative of the Water Company in charge of the work.

The desire is that the excavation be only of sufficient depth to obtain the cross section of sewer shown after having leveled and smoothed up the bottom with masonry, as shown by the

19.

plan, and the amount of masonry used in the bottom will he poverned by the excavation made, simply brinpinp it to prade and smoothing" up, and it is the belief of the IVater Company that throu.f^hout the entire leng-th of the sewer that a bottom of firm limestone will be en- countered, but should the oontractor encounter material that in the opinion of the representative of the Water Company is unfit for a bottom, he will be required to move same, and will be paid at the rate of m1»00 per yard for any such additional or extra excavation ordered, and ^^4.00 per cubic yard for concrete fill in such excava- tion, but no such excavation or fill shall be made by the contractor without a written order from the representative of the Water Company on the p-round, and such written orders must accorapany any claims for extras on any of the work covered by these specifications.

yiATE^I/LIS OF CONS?HTJ0TIO?T

The contractor is p-iven his choice between concrete and brick construction. If concrete is employed, it shall be composed of one part Portland cement of approved brand, two parts sand, and four parts of broken stone or well washed river p-ravel , all of which shall pass throu^^h a 2" rinp.

If he should elect to employ brick construction, the sewer proper shall be formed of three rinfrs of hard burned brick, neatly laid on forms in first class cement mortar, which shall be made of one part of sand, two parts of Portland cement of an approved brand, and the entire cross section excavated shall be filled to the height shown by the plan, with masonry of either well placed brick in mortar as above described, or the brick arch may be supplemented with concrete, but v/ith either construction neat handy forms must be used, and must remain in place until the masonry over them has sufficiently set to prevent any danper from cracking, due to a too early removal of the form.

All material used in either case must be furnished by the contractor, and be passed upon and accepted by the Water Company prior to its use.

SPOIL 3ATTKS A:TD MCK FIT LOG

Uo backfillinp" other than of masonry will be required of the contractor. The materials excavated will be deposited on the banks adjacent, to remain there subject to removal by the "'^ater Company, and the contractor may only need figure on such expense relating to the r.aterial excavated as it will be necessary for him to incur to dispose of same on banks adjacent in a manner that will perm.it the uninterrupted progress of his own work, and the Water

PO.

Company will endeavor to remove an^' such materials as may be over- burdensome to the contractor on iicoount of his inability, owing to the cramped conditions, to dispose of same, This refers particu- larly to where the sewer will pass under the Goal Company's railroad.

PROTEGTIOxT 0? '.VQRK DU^Il^G ?P.OCT?ess

The work as at present laid out will cross the stream it is intended later to convey but once, and that at about midway of its length, but will again intersect such stream at its comple- tion or upper end, and the contractor will be e:xpected to make provision for caring for the flow of this stream and prevent its Interrupting progress of this v/ork. This stream on April 28th at the point of crossing and also intersection was not flowing at all.

QUALITY 0? 170!^E

The work shall at all times be subject to the inspection of the Engineer of the V/ater Company, and shall be carried on in a first class workmanlike manner. Hone but the best material shall be used. Great care must be taken to preserve surfaces of masonry and rock excavation in a clean condition to promote the best adhesion, and where concrete shall have been permitted to set, a layer of mortar shall have been spread over before the next layer of concrete goes on, and bidder must understand that over this work, as before stated in these specifications, is to be constructed heavy buildings, machinery foundations, and reservoirs, and that any defective construction in this sev/er might cause disastrous results, and would surely entail great loss on the Water Company.
